Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March as, me. serial no. ceases.

Be it known that I, Envm E. STRAWN, a citizen of the United States of America, rcsiding at Storm Lake, in the county of Buena Vista and State of Iowa, have in vented new and useful Improvements in Printing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in printing machines and has particular application to machines of this type for print- 'ing form letters such as are used in large business houses.

In carryingout the present invention, it

is my purpose to provide a printing machine by means of which a form letter may be printed, addressed, and a signature applied thereto, the means for addressing the letter being automatically movable sothat a new address may be applied to each letter printed. I

In some instances, it maybe desirable to.

put an insert into the body of'the letter,

therefore, it is a further purpose of my inventio'n. to construct a machine of this character'whereby' lettersimay be printed, addressed and an insert applied, to the body of the letter, the application of such insert being subsequent to the printing of the body letter.

of the letter.

Furthermore, I aim to provide a. machine for printing formletters whereby the body of the letter may be. printed, an address and Salutation applied thereto, and "a heading applied to the letter, suchas the name of the business house or firm transmit-ting such It is also my-purpose' to provide a print ing machine of the class above set forth whereby letters may be printed from a. continuous roll of paper and the portion of such paper bearing the letter out off from the remaining portion automatically.

The invention also involves a machine for printing form letters whereby a letter may be printed," addressed and headed, an insert applied to the body of such letter and a signature attached to the letter, all in one operation.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construjctiong combination and arrangement of parts here scope of the appendedclaims.

In the accompanying. drawings there has been illustrated one preferred and practical embodiment of my invention, and in these drawings; Figure 1 is a view in side eleva tion of a printing machine constructed in accordance with the presentinvention. Fi 2 is a'view in elevation of the opposite sid of the machines- Fig. 3 is a 'centrai longitudinal sectional view of-the machine shown in Fig. 1. Fig.- iis a top plan view thereof.

Fig. 5 is an end viewlookin in a direction toward the left of Fig.- 1. 1g. 6 is a trans verse sectional view on the line S -6 of Fig.

inafter set forth inand falling within the Patented ca er 1, looking in the direction of the arrow- Fig. 7 is a fragmentary sectional view of the main frame of the-machine, one of the printing means bein shown in elevation. Fig. 8 isa side eleva-tionof a detail of. the invention. Figs. 9,10 and'll show a side elevation, vertical and transverse sections, respectively, of'anether detail of the invention.- Fig. 12 is'a side elevation ofthe address forms'and-their drum. Fig. 13 is a collective view of the operating mechanism of the address forms, and Fig. '14: is a View in elevationof such address forms.

Similar reference characters designate-like parts'throughont the several views. I Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the main frame of the machine is designated MA and in the present instance consists 'of spaced parallel longitudinal bars 1, .1 connected to each other at one end'by a cross bar 2 and equipped at their opposite extremities with legs 3, which legs rest upon a'base 4 and may be connected thereto in any suitable manner, if desired,.

ported by the longitudinal bars 1, 1 of the embodiment of my invention is movable over the form to assist the latter in the printing operation and embodies a roller 10 coV- ered with suitable material, such as rubber or the like, and -journaled at its opposite ends in the end walls 11, 11 of the carriage 12, such end walls of the carriage being connected to each other by a cross bar 13 carrying a shield or guard 14: above the roller platen and equipped with a handle 15 by means of which the platen may be moved over the type of the form. The end walls 11 of-the carriage terminate at their free ends in depending flanges 16 provided with guide rollers 17 disposed within trackways 18 carried by the outer sides of the longitudinal side bars 1 of the main frame adjacent to the upper edges of such bars, such trackways being of sufficient length to accommodate the movement ofthe carriage over the form and beyond the same in one direction, for a purpose which will presently appear. H desired, the trackways 18 may be formed in the longitudinal side bars of the frame, and although I have shown one particular form of platen and carriage, it is to' be understood that I do not confine myself to this especial construction, as the same is merely shown for the purpose of illustration.

In carrying out the present invention, the paper upon which the letter is printed is fed over the form 6 between the same and the platen and from a roll 19 rotatably mounted in brackets 20 formed on the legsv 3 of the main frame, or detachably connected to such legs, as may be found desirable, at the rear of the form with respect to the direction of travel of the paper=during the printing operation. The pa er from the roll19 is fed longitudinally o the machine, at certain intervals and is indicated at a,

a and between such paper and the type of the form 6 is an inking ribbon 21in the form of a roll 22 mounted upon a shaft 23 journaled in the longitudinal bars 1 of the main frame in advance of the form 6 and disposed within a housing 24, and movable from the roll 22 to a roll 25 and over the type of the form in a direction reverse to that of the travel of the paper subsequent to the printing of the body of the letter.

The address forms, in the present instance, are in the form of a chain 26 com posed of 'a plurality of address plates,27, each of which is provided at one side edge with spaced .ofl'set lateral lugs-28 adapted qt o -en'gage in apd-between pairsof hooks 29.

rmed on the adjacent edge of the proximate plates. This chain of address forms is I imaele supported upon an operating drum .30 fixed out at the angles of the sides, as shown at 32 in Fig. 12, to accommodate the connections between the address plates 27, the intermediate po-rtions of such angles projecting through slots between adjacent plates to rigidly hold the same and impart movement to the chain of such plates.

To print the body of he letter, the type is first set up in the chase to produce a fixed form, and subsequent to the application of the form to thebed, the ribbon 21 is carried over the address plate and type from: the roll 23 to the roll 25 and rigidly connected to the latter roll so that in the turning of'the latter the ribbon may be moved over the type. The parts being thus positioned, the

paper a from roll 19, is carried forwardly of the main frame and disposed above the inking ribbon-21 so that upon'pressure being applied to the paper, the impression from the type may be" transmitted through the inking ribbon to such paper.- In order to print the body of the letter from the fixed form, the carriage 12 is moved forwardly, the trackways 18 and rollers 17 facilitating such forward movement, whereby the platen 10 will bear upon the'paper la, thus producing an impression upon such paper; from the'type of the fixed form to produce the body of the letter. Subsequentto the printing of the body of the letter, the forward movement of the carriage is continued so that an addr'essand salutation may be applied to the letter from one of the address plates 27,- the salut-a-tion being carried by such plates as well as the name and address, as

shown in Fig. 14. Immediately succeeding this forward movement of the carriage to print the body of the letter and address .and salutation', the platen 10 is moved 'away from the paper so that in the rearward movement of the carriage to its initial operating position, the paper may be moved forwardlyIas .will be hereinafter more fully described, without producing a second impression thereon and thereby smearing the body of the letter. ,To render the platen inactive at this time upon the paper, the shaft of such platen is journaled n eccentric bearings, in the side walls of the carriage, and each bearing at the opposite sides of the carriage is provided with a lever 33 adapted to enpins 34 carried by the bars '1 of the the forward movement of the. carriage so frame and arranged at the limit of that uponthe carriage reaching its forward limit 'ofmovement;the levers 33 may be being designed to register the number of letters printed'by the machine, as will be readily understood In the movement of the carriage to its initial position: after the printing of the body of the letter, the ribbon 21 is moved to present a new inking surface to the type, and for this pur ose, I have mounted upon one extremity o the shaft of the roll 25,

- a ratchet 38 which is fixed to theishaft, and a rocking lever 39 loose uponsaid shaft nates in the pat-Ir of movement of a and carrying apawl 40 designed to engage the teeth ofthe ratchet 38, the lever 39 being actuated about the shaft in one direction by; an expansion spring 41 secured at one end to a lug 42 uponthe main frame and having its opposite end connected to the lever so that in the movement of the carriage in the printing of the body of the/letter, the lever 39 may be actuated about the shaft of the roll 25',- the pawl idling upon the ratchet teeth in this movement of the lever and engagmga relatively advanced tooth.

The free-end of the rocking lever 39 termipin 43. carried by the carriage 12 so that 1n the rearward movement of. such carriage after the printing operation, the lever 39 may be rocked'about the shaft of the ribbon roll 25 and a positive movement imparted to such shaft through-theparwl 40 and ratchet 38 to advance the ribbon As the lever 39 is arranged in the path of movement of the pin- 43 upon the carriage, and'the carriage operated to rint the body of each and every letter, it wil beseen that the inking rib-' bonis advanced to present .a new inking surface toithe type in a steip by step manner and after the printing 0 each andevery letter In accordance with the present invention,

- lt utilize an independent printing means for heading the letter,- applying an insert. to the body of the letter and for aihxing'. a signature to such letter. These several inserts, in

. the present instance, are all mounted upon a single drum which is designed to be actuated-from the platen carriage and in the j movement of sueh arriege to its initial posi- 1 tionsubs'equent tothe printing of the body of the letter. This independent printing means in this'i-nstance, embodies a drum 44 v I x which carries at one-point upon its circumference a plate 45 or other suitable typecarrying medium bearing a letter head, and at an' appropriate distance from the plate acarrying medium bearing an insert for the 5 body of the letter, while-at a suitable point i from the plate 46 is a .plate er other form of type bearing member 47 carrying a sigmature for the letter. The plates 45, 46 and 47 ment of the carriage, that in the rearward movement of the latter after the printing of the body of the letter, thedrum will be rotated to apply a head to the letter, an insert to the body of the letter, and afiix a signature to the letter while such letter is in transit and at'the proper places. The drum 44, is fixed upon'a shaft 48 journale'd in the longitudinal bars 1' of the main frame and projected outwardly of one of such bars. in order to transmit motion to the shaft 48, sothat the drum 44 may be rotated at the of the platen carrying carriage, a suitable form of power transmitting mechanism is arranged intermediate the carriage and the shaft48 and is operable from'the carriage in 'sition after the printing of the 'body of the mechanism in the present instance consist- 'ing of a drum 49 loosely encircling the projecting extremity of the shaft 48 and housing a coiled contractile spring 50 one end of of the drum 49 is a groove 51' 'nto which such as a chain, cord, cable or the like having its opposite extremity fastened to a pin .53 carried by one of the side walls of the carriage. Pivotally mounted upon one side of the drum 49, preferably at diametrically opposite points, are a suitable number of pawls or dogs 54 adapted to engage the shaft 48 in any suitable manner and designed to impart movement to such shaft in the operation of the drum 49 under the ac tion of the flexible element 52. v In the forward movement. of the carriage, to assist in the printing of the body of the i'fiexible element 52 and wind the. same about the drum-49 and withinthe groove 51, the pawls 54 in this movement of the drum ;idling upon the teeth of'the ratchet wheel i55.- Upon therearward movement of the 45 is another plate 46 or other suitable type are so arranged" relative to one another and the drum. so timed with respect to the moveletter, to impart movement to the drum 44, through, the medium of the shaft 48, such cmriegesubsequent'to the printing or the proper time and in therearwardinovement I the movement of the latter to'its' initial powhich. is connected to the interior of the" f drum 49, while the opposite end is fixed upon the shaft 48. Formed in the periphery l05 fixed one extremity of a flexible element 52,

teeth of a ratchet wheel 55 keyed upon the r letter, the spring 50, being a c0ntractile -spring, acts to take up the slack in the bodypf the letter, the drum 49 is rotated against the tension of the spring 50 and the ,pawls 54 carried by such drum engage the teeth of the ratchet wheel 55 androtate the same thereby imparting'rptary movement to the shaft 48 and the printing drum 44 upon such shaft. I

In order to impart a positive movement to the paper a subsequent to the printing of the body of the letter and in the .movement of the printing drum 44 so that the'various inserts carried by such printing drum may be applied to the letter, the printing drum '44 in the present instance at its opposite ends is provided -with annular rings 56 which rings bear upon the side edges of the under surface of the paper a and act in conjunction with a feed roller 57 disposed preferably immediately above the drum 44, to feed the paper longitudinally of the machine. This roller 57, is preferably mounted 1 ,upon a shaft 58 journaled at its opposite extremities in blocks 59, 59 slidably mounted within brackets 60 carried by the upper edges of the longitudinal bars 1 of the main frame. between the lower surfaces of the blocks and the'bottom walls of the guideways of such blocks in the brackets 60 to place proper. tension upon the feed roll 57, set' screws 62 being arranged within the upper portions I of the brackets 60 to move the blocks 59 and the bodyof the letter so that the insert may be applied thereto.

When the signature has been afiixed tothe letter, the carriage and consequently the platen have reached their initial operating position and a clean portion of'the paper from the roll 19 is disposed above the ribbon 21 so that the above operation of printing may be repeated. As each letter has to have a new address, I have provided means operable automatically and from the,carriage to bring a new address plate into position and move the previous addressplate outof printing position. To this end, I have mounted upon one extremity of the shaft 31 of-the address drum a ratchet wheel 63 located adjacent to the lnner side ofone of the respective longitudinal bars 1 of the main frame and adapted to'be engaged by a dog 64 pivotally mounted upon the carriage 12 as at 65- and adapted to idleupon the ratchet Tension springs 61 are interposedwheel 63 in the forward movement of the carriage and to rotate such wheel f in the rearward movement of the carriage to bring a new name late into printing position .be--

neath the rib on 21, the ratchetbeing con-- structed in such manner as to. release the" pawl as soon as the name plate has reached its proper position. A SPIlI'lg-fifi isfastened to asuitable part of the mam frame and is provided with a d'etent 67- adaptedto receive the edges. of the triangular-shaped drum of the address forms so as to retain such forms in proper printing position after the release of the ratchet 63 by the dog 64. 7

In order to shearor .cut thfel printed portions of the paper into letter orm, after the.

a completed. printing operation, I' make use of a knife 68 pivoted as at 69 to the end of i the main frame in advance of the different printing mechanisms and-cooperative with .the end bar 2 of such frame. to produce a shearin action upon the paper, a spring-70 holds t e knife 68 in a normallyelevated position and serves to'returnsuch knife to I its normal position subsequent to the shearing action. This: knife'68 is also actuatedeo bythe carriage-through the medium'of a lever 71 pivoted to one of the side bars 1. of I the main frame and having one extremity.

in the path of movement of a pin .72 carried by the carriage, such end ofthe lever being provided with a hinged joint 73 adapted to present a rigid structure in the forward movement of the carriage so that .the'lattermay swingthe lever about its'pivotal connection with the mainframe and desi ned to break in the rearward movement of t e car-- iriageso 'that in the latteiz movement the lever may remain inactive, and connected to the o posite extremity. offthe lever- 71 is a flexib e connector 74, such as a chain, cord, cable or the like extending forwardly of the main frame of the machine and trained over extremity to the free end of "theblade 68 to operate the latter as aforesaid.

' In he construction herein shown, I have provided a table .7 6 between the knife end ofthe machine and the printing drum 44,

a guide pulley 75 and connected atits free and this table is designed to support or hold- U a printed letter after the completed printing operation, while the previous lettei is cut ofi' by the action of the knife 68-. The table -7 6 therefore always holds a complete letter,

butit is to be understood. that, if desired,

the parts may ,be so arranged and con structed as to enable the removal of the printed portion of the paper immediately,"

succeedin the com leted prlnting operation.

The in ing mec anism for the printing" drum 44 comprises in' this instance two inking reservoirs 77 and 7 8 containing red and black ink respectively, the red ink being applied to the lnsert and the black ink to the ame s letter head and, signature, each. of; theinkzing reservoirs containin suitable ink rollers 79 to facilitate the appl cation of the ink to.
